Is this true? Is Codable intended to be Swift's official JSON parsing system? Is Codable intended to be a general-purpose JSON parsing system? 

My understanding was that Codable was designed to serialize Swift types, not to be able to import arbitrary JSON text into Swift nor to interoperate with every existing JSON API.
